Hi Foggie,

Only just seen this thread, well done, a great idea.

My mono project is a 250E frame reg XBL 181T, but will be registered as a 400e when it"s finished. It will be white/red. My old 400f is Q222 CGY, owned by my good friend Joe Reynolds, is also red/white, roadworthy, but I think is sorned at the mo.

Regards

Dusty

...think its sorned??

Get it checked, just had a fine from the DVLA for ?80 for missing one of mine genuine oversight, but no amount of pleading is helping, basta*ds!!!

Just a quick point about SORN. I got the v5 in my name a couple of months ago, this was just for the frame, totally in bits, didn"t consider sorn until today. Did it online, warning came up about vehicle being unlicensed since feb 08, and that it would be investigated. Gave them a ring, got to write to them and prove it"s been in bits. So PLEASE check its on SORN or you will be liable for any back duty when you eventually come to tax it

And then I"ll be chasing the remaining 200 out of the 250 members who haven"t sent there bike registrations yet.

I HAVE JUST TAXED AND MOT"D MY RD 250D, IT WAS LAST ON THE ROAD IN 1991. I HAD THESE BIKES WHEN I WAS IN MY 20"S, THIS CAME UP FOR SALE AND I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT. IT WAS ORIGNALLY SILVER, BUT I HAVE RESTORED IT TO A LEVEL AND CHANGED THE COLOUR TO YELLOW.

ITS REG IS "WKK 347S", IT IS ROAD LEGAL AND USED WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING.

Hi Foggie,

Great to see all these bikes listed - just a shame more arent still licensed. I do have a question though about the data for "colour at registration". I was the second owner of LLE358V a White and Red RD400E. I bought this from a friend and I know that the bike was bought White and Red, it wasn"t Yellow. I part ex"ed this 400 for my 350LC and all though I loved the 350 I would still like to have that 400 now Likewise when I bought my 350LC - CJJ902W it was nearly new. It was in Mars Bar colours and again I"m pretty sure it wasn"t White when registered. Where does that info come from (I assume the DVLA?).

Ill have an "A" plated RD80MX to add to the list soon, I just cant remember the number. Great job mate,

Regards,

Russ

Foggie,

I knew there was something else I wanted to mention. I bumped into a friend who bought my RD250F (RVX560W)from me in 1981. He told me that the bike was stolen from him and the thief had been caught . Sadly the bike had been stripped and sold as spares, so I dont know if that 250 should be removed from the list now?

Regards,

Russ

what an excellent idea.

RD250 E

BPC 41T, registered 26/01/79, was blue/black decals and wheels. now white/red decals with black wheels. Currently SORN in the garage but most definately alive still. When it stops being naughty and breakin stuff ill go and get it MOT"d

hi, are these reg numbers from members who own these bikes or are they also reg numbers of bikes they are trying to find. i notice the reg number of my fs1e SPT384R is there under the member BRUCEC and its close to my user name bluec so could there be some mistakes here. brucec also has a rd250B listed MBR307P.does he own this bike or is he looking for it or neither ?

its all a bit confusing.

I have a 1976 RD400C reg number SNE 50R.

It currently resides in my office and has not been run since restoration. It still has its original number plate and tax disc from 1976.

Happy for mine to be put on the list RD250C Royal Blue reg no OML 486R. Has recent re-bore and sympathetic rebuild when I bought it in August and my intention is to fully restore it over time. Currently a working weekend warrior to get another 460 miles on it to make a good 1k run in, Unless anyone thinks that's a bit excessive? Right hand pot and exhaust running rich with solid backfiring. So this weekend fettering trying to recall how I coped as a 17yr old on my similar RD250D reg no SRX 637S sadly not heard of since01Apr82. I part-xd it a year or so before for a Ducati Pantah 500SL.

This is probably a very stupid question, but I am old so you have to make allowances.

Can we view it ?All I see are the 2 sheets on the first page of this post ?

Its currently under a revamp so should be better soon.

Its a general interest voluntary sort of thing. Members enter reg numbers of bikes they have or bikes they had back in the 70's.Some bikes are long dead though. Some bikes were seen in photos - road test bikes from mags

Facebook mentioned bikes by old original owners - presumably now lost for ever

I've recently bought KEA153V, a Blue RD200DX of 1979 vintage. It's in excellent all round condition (see photo), all I've done is buy a new battery for it and a pair of mirrors. It starts on the button and runs great. I don't know a great deal about its former life, but it appears to have been restored in 2012 as I have a hand written list of the work done on the back of an old MOT certificate. If you recognise the bike as a former owner, I'd love to hear from you about its time in your hands.

YNP 538 R Silver RD250D. Got it summer 2016. On the road and used regularly. Spanker!

Does the RD database still exist ? And if it does where can it be viewed ?

I keep seeing all these bike details being posted looking for their bikes but I have never seen the fully compiled list anywhere, where does all the info go from people who post details of what bikes they have.

I would like to see the list sorted in registration number order where people could check themselves for the bike that they are looking for.

As far as i know if you are looking for your old bike you post the reg in the have you seen my rd section and hope for the best. I have reunited a few people with their bikes over the years :)

Title: Re: RD Database
Post by: NIRD on May 01, 2017, 10:21:58 PM

No stukey, I'm not looking for my old bike as it is not on the DVLA database.

I'ts just that all I see is members replying to this post with all their bikes and the reg numbers of ones they currently own.So somebody somewhere must be recording them on the RD Database or maybe they're not.

It would be nice if they were still being recorded as it would be easier for people to search for their old bike. The way it is, there doesn't seem to be any order to it, people put down they are looking for their bike and the reg number could be anywhere in their message. I think the first thing that should be on your message looking for your bike is the reg number.
